We Indians, need law to recall our elected leaders, be it MLA or MLC or MP (RS MP), in case of failures by the representatives. Law need not ask for all voters, but can ask few (say 5%) voters overall (in a constituency) ask for recall. Because, 5% is equal to or more than 30% of votes polled to an elected person, especially when voting percentage is not more than 60%. Recalled representative should not be given any benefit like a retired representative. No litigation should be permitted. Of course, the signature records with voter-id and results should be preserved. Re-election should be considered. Of course, this leads to constant campaign, results, etc. Thus, recalling, re-election should be allowed around mid-term of 5 year term of rlected body.
Till we focus on Politicians - all problems will remaina s they are - its a very controversial take but Politicains despite all the optics are not the real lord and masters
